Coach Xabi Alonso's Comments on the Performance of Mbappe and Other Players
Xabi Alonso expressed his appreciation for the team's overall performance, despite admitting that Mbappe has yet to make a big impact on the pitch. "Although he's just come in, Mbappe's condition is getting better and we're very happy with his presence," Alonso said. He added that the player still needs time to adapt to the game system and team dynamics.
The Spaniard also highlighted the role of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who provided his first assist for Madrid. Alonso believes that Trent's crossing is typical of English players who excel in that area, although he also recognizes that the player still needs time to adjust to Madrid's style of play.
Alonso emphasized that it is important for the team to maintain healthy competition and give all players the opportunity to improve. He also revealed that the strategy for the next match has yet to be decided, but the main focus is to maintain consistency and growth.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's role in the Juventus match
Trent Alexander-Arnold once again showed his quality as one of the best full-backs in the world. In the match against Juventus, the Englishman provided the assist that decided Madrid's victory. The assist came from an accurate crossing that was able to break down the opponent's defense and create a golden opportunity for Gonzalo Garcia.
Coach Alonso mentioned that Trent is known for his precise crossing and passing skills. However, he also emphasized that adaptation takes time, given that the player has just joined and is still undergoing training sessions with his teammates.
In terms of team strategy, Trent is expected to fill the gap on the right side of Madrid's defense, especially in one-on-one duels. Alonso reminded that footwork and speed are important factors that a player like Trent must utilize to close down spaces and keep the defense stable.
In the future, Alonso emphasized that healthy internal competition will help Trent and other players to achieve their best performance, so that they can make maximum contributions to the team in all competitions.
With an ever-improving performance and strategy, Madrid are optimistic about the quarter-finals and their quest for a prestigious title at the global club level. Football fans in Indonesia and around the world are certainly looking forward to seeing the best from a Los Blancos squad that is now more mature and ready to compete on the international stage.
